Geographies of Difference powerfully documents the multitude of socioeducational processes that construct differentiated students educators and educational practices within cities. Through a case study of a large metropolitan school district this book identifies how the conversations and practices of educators citywide media and political relations codify students schools and city spaces with spatial metaphors that obscure as well as denote meanings about race and social class. It argues that through these practices of codification educational processes of constructing and differentiating populations and spaces work in concert with broader city media and political discourses to create differentiated curricular and pedagogical offerings for students in different parts of the city.
